That is definitely the most awkward video I have ever witnessed.

Oh wait... you were referring to the one on the side of the island. My bad :)

The plug at the end of the bar is still there... I can see it. It blends nicely into the new backsplash though.

I hate the yellow in the first picture with a PASSION. My apartment was that colour before I painted - it reminded me of old books with yellowing pages. Barf. I repainted the walls a light grey and...

This is a guest bedroom. For occasional guests, this seems like a great idea. No need to re-make the bed each night because there is usually no one is sleeping there!

I just painted my bedroom Glidden's Palm Spring Tan. It's a nice warm brown that would go fantastic with those tiles. Check it out!

If you decide to paint, I think a light grey would look great with your counter top and flooring. I've also seen several instances where the lower cabinets are painted a dark shade than the uppers ...

I have a spearmint plant that my cat won't touch - bizarre, as she seems to have destroyed every other plant in the apartment. I guess I've just gotten used to having plants with munched up leaves ...

I despise the wall colour in the first photo.... my entire apartment was this colour when I movedin. My landlord referred to it as "bone white" but I always thought of it as more of a wanna-be whit...

I like the before better.... but would have painted the one unit white and left everything else the same.

Paint the walls if you're able to. It's the easiest and fastest way to make your place suit your style and feel like home. I just painted my apartment after being here for a year - I wish I had don...

I've decided that I need pink pillows.

The term "fizzy milk" makes me think of milk that just came out of someone's nose because they laughed while drinking or choked on it. Which is totally disgusting.

Very cute... but... if you take one, does that mean you have to eat all three? I would :)

You can get the same effect with dim under cabinet lighting. Frees up the counter space and prevents gunky shades too!

I agree. My boyfriend does not. I take the comic books out of the bathroom, next thing I know they're back in there again. I think they look tacky not to mention gross (sorry, but man pee can be sp...

My boyfriend and I got lost in Quebec City this past weekend... first, I accidently took us to Charlesbourg with the GPS rather than Quebec City (my fault... I admit it. Be careful what address you...
